The Love Trap: On My Mother’s Grave
Bianca seems to have it all: Beauty, Health, Family, a successful Career – So why is she crying ? A short note from a younger co-worker informing her of his upcoming marriage makes her realize that she is in love with him instead of her husband. . . . and at this moment her whole life changes from contentment to turmoil. The story begins with a flashback to the hardship of being a teen girl in post-war Germany, and continues, alternating between her romance with her American husband, and her growing involvement with the younger Frederick. In a surprising twist she finally realizes who the love of her life is. But – will it be too late for her decision, or will she finally find peace?
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Writing has always been an escape for Vera, but this is the first novel she has published. She has lived in Germany and Canada, but America has been her home since 1964. Bianca’s story is thought-provoking to the end, giving readers an opportunity to reflect on their own life-choices.

The Plant
Robert “Blue” Bluestone started working at National Motors in 1964, when he was still in high school. At that time, The Plant was a city within a city, full of its own secrets, dangers, and rackets. Liquor was readily available from well-stocked bars (martini with olive, anyone?), gambling was a common occurrence, and prostitutes entertained their clients in the “All-American Room.” It was also a dangerous place to work, with many Plant Rats injured or killed, and it was a place where no one cared about racial differences. Black and white didn’t matter in this city—it was all about brotherhood. Blue had to quickly learn about the movers and shakers, who to cross and who not to cross, what to say and how to say it. But he caught on quickly and spent the next 40-plus years at The Plant. His witty and engaging book is the story of his life, with an insider’s view of the automotive industry as it evolved over the years.

The New York Times Holiday Books Edition is distributed to nearly 5 million people, and in the pages of that edition is the Outskirts Press co-op announcement (featured at the end of this blog post). Today we shine the holiday spotlight on author Richard Devens’ non-fiction Rational Polemics.
Rational Polemics: Tackling the Ethical Dilemmas of Life
What If Everything You Know Is Wrong?
Rational Polemics is a provocative, controversial, outrageous book that dares to challenge the ideas and values that most of the world has been spoon-fed from infancy onward. With personal anecdotes, tongue-in-cheek humor, and refreshing candor, author Richard Devens thinks outside the traditional strictures of convention and morality, and asks important questions, including: Does poetic justice exist? Is forgiveness always the best method to achieve closure? Do we have the right to end our own lives? Should drugs be legal? Can prostitution be beneficial? If you’re ready to consider the true nature of evil, to look at the hypocrisies inherent in religion, to think about whether humanity really is a “higher form of life,” and to open your mind to new ideas about subjects ranging from adultery to cannibalism to rude people and distracting background music, Rational Polemics will be a welcome breath of fresh air from a writer who might be one of the most original thinkers of our time.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

The New York Times Holiday Books Edition is distributed to nearly 5 million people, and in the pages of that edition is the Outskirts Press co-op announcement (featured at the end of this blog post). Today we shine the holiday spotlight on author Vil S. Mirzayanov’s non-fiction, State Secrets: An Insider’s Chronicle of the Russian Chemical Weapons Program.
State Secrets: An Insider’s Chronicle of the Russian Chemical Weapons Program
Long before there was the Syrian chemical weapons crisis of 2013, there was perestroika: In the 1980s, while Mikhail Gorbachev and others staunchly denied the existence of chemical weapons in Russia, the State Research Institute of Organic Chemistry and Technology in Moscow was developing that very thing. It was scientist Dr. Vil Mirzayanov, chief of the Counterintelligence Department, who was responsible for developing methods of detecting extremely minute in the environment surrounding the institute.
State Secrets takes a startling insider’s look at the Russian chemical weapons program, and draws a direct connection between it and Syria. Mirzayanov was in a unique position to gather intelligence about these weapons, including their precise chemical makeup, and was the first whistleblower to reveal the Russian chemical weapons program to the world.
Mirzayanov’s book provides a shocking, up-close examination of Russia’s military and political complex and its extraordinary efforts to hide dangerous weapons from the world. State Secrets should serve as a chilling cautionary tale for peoples and governments the world over, and serve as a guide on which defense and chemical weapon antidotes can be based.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Born in 1935 in a rural village in rural Bashkortstan, Russia, Vil Mirzayanov was the son of the village school teacher. He distinguished himself as a chemist, and over a 26 year period worked at the State Research Institute of Organic Chemistry and Technology in Moscow, which was the main developer of chemical weapons in Russia. At some point during the 1980s, Dr. Mirzayanov came to the conclusion that chemical weapons were unnecessary for his country’s defense, and dangerous for people near the manufacturing and storage sites. During perestroika, the chemical weapons program was going ahead at full speed, while President Gorbachev and others denied its existence. Dr. Mirzayanov tried to change things through the usual channels at his institute, but was rebuffed.
In 1991, he published a short article in “Kuranty,” hinting at the chemical weapons program. No one paid attention — except his employer and the KGB. He was fired from his job. In the fall of 1992 Dr. Mirzayanov gave an interview with “The Baltimore Sun” and co-authored an article in Moscow News. In October, he was arrested and sent to Lefortovo Prison charged with revealing state secrets. He never gave any formulas or protocols for synthesis of the super deadly new class of chemical agents he referred to, called “Novichok” or newcomer at that time. Though he was released 11 days later, he remained under house arrest until his trial in January 1994.
The closed-door show trial attracted a great deal of international attention and the support of many scientists and human rights advocates all over the world. Dr. Mirzayanov became the first person in 70 years to sue the Russian government, including the Procurator General’s office, the KGB and his institute. He won a 30 million ruble award, later overturned by an appeals court.
In 1995, Dr. Mirzayanov immigrated to the United States and wrote this book about his life and experiences within the Soviet/Russian chemical military complex. He has received the 1993 Cavallo Foundation Special Award for Moral Courage, the 1994 Heinz R. Pagels Human Rights of Scientists Award of the New York Academy of Sciences and the 1995 American Association for the Advancement of Science (A.A.A.S.) Scientific Freedom and Responsibility Award.
